  • Specimen No. 46 developed recrystallization during the extrusion and exhibited reduced strength due to low Mn content. The Specimen No. 46 also produced stress corrosion cracking at 120 hours into the test. Specimen No. 47 developed coarse intermetallic compounds due to the existence of excessive Mn, which resulted in decreased elongation. Specimen No. 48 exhibited poor corrosion resistance since the composition did not fall into the range specified for the total content of Si %+Mg %+Cu %. Specimens No. 49 and No. 50 showed a poor corrosion resistance since the compositions failed to satisfy the range specified for the Mg content and Mg % ⁇ 1.7 ⁇ Si %, respectively. Specimens No. 51 and No. 52 exhibited poor corrosion resistance and poor elongation since the compositions failed to satisfy the range specified in the present invention for the total content of Mg and Si and the Si content, respectively. Specimen No. 53 showed poor corrosion resistance due to high Cu content.

  • Specimen No. 69 was extruded with a die having a high flow speed ratio, the billet was extruded at an excessively high temperature. This gave rise to a growth of a recrystallized grain structure, resulting in an area-fraction of the fibrous structure to the cross-sectional structure of 50%.
